A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and robust, low-contrast strokes. Forms are built from smooth, geometric curves paired with blunt, flattened terminals, giving the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are large and rounded, while apertures tend to be fairly tight, which increases the sense of density at display sizes. The overall rhythm is assertive and forward-leaning, with consistent stroke weight and simplified joins that keep the silhouette clean and bold.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, sports and event branding, bold packaging, and attention-demanding signage. The oblique stance and dense forms also work well for short bursts of text such as taglines, labels, and callouts rather than long reading passages.
The font reads as energetic and forceful, with a sporty, action-oriented slant. Its substantial weight and wide stance convey confidence and immediacy, making it feel contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and momentum through a strong oblique angle, broad proportions, and simplified geometric construction. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition, aiming for a modern, sporty voice that holds its shape under high-contrast, high-visibility applications.
Uppercase shapes show a strong geometric backbone (notably in round letters like C/O/S), while diagonals and angled joins add snap in letters like K, V, W, and Y. The numerals match the same sturdy construction, with open, simplified shapes designed to hold up in high-impact settings.
